Today was Twin Day at UCHS and tomorrow is Orange & Black Day.

ELA 9A

We watched and read chapter 6 of The Outsiders and worked on the chapter questions as well as examples of similes and metaphors. 

ELA 9B 

Today we finished up our Remembrance Day poems and essays.  We also went through the rubic for our character paragraphs.  Then character paragraphs were typed into Google Classroom and students self- assessed their work.  No more classtime will be given for this so if you did not finish please do so as soon as possible.  Remember Google Classroom can be accessed from a home computer, a tablet or your smartphone.
